Honda directly, call Steels Honda in Hereford and ask for Dave he'll sort you out.

Alternatively Tegiwa do OEM Honda timing chains and the equipment that goes with it.

Original post says you were looking for a Toda chain? If so don't bother. As suggested just go for genuine Honda. The Toda has its place for high performance engines but from what I've read up on its the oem chain that gives the best longevity. High performance parts are usually built for race type conditions so very strong short term use. Oem is more or less the opposite although having said that unless it's very high demand applications, E.g excessive rev limiter like 9k revs plus, the oem does a very good job but oem is what you want for 99‰ of applications considering it's usually already proven itself over 100k miles!

As far as who does the work is concerned I'd recommend the likes of TGM or similar. Basically whoever the specialist near you is

I'd save your money tbh bud. If it doesn't need doing don't do it, save yourself 500 notes in the process.

The chain is supposed to last the lifetime of the car. I'm only doing mine because it's stretched and therefore needs doing. If it hadn't I wouldn't bother doing it.

Up to you I guess at the end of the day, it's your car.

I changed mine as head was coming out anyway. It had done 150k and had stretched half a tooth. Hadn't thrown a MIL as tensioner would have been doing its job so probably plenty of life in it yet

I was looking a building a high compression engine or supercharging the car not decided yet was just get some bits together that could be used on both applications as for carrying out the job I would be doing it myself so only price of parts to consider thanks for all the advice probably just stick to oem
